II. Business Details

1. Overview

A. Present Conditions of the Industry

(1) Characteristics of the Industry

• Telecommunication (KT, KT Sat, KT Powertel, Olleh Rwanda Networks Ltd.)

The telecommunication business usually involves businesses such as mobile communications, fixed-line telephony, line lease businesses and Internet Protocol Television (“IPTV”). The value chain in the telecommunication business begins from contents, platform, network and terminal. The convergence of fixed-line, wireless, and broadcasting telecommunications has increased and expanded to adjacent sectors. The traditional telecommunications business is increasingly evolving into services such as IPTV and advanced wideband LTE (“LTE-A”). However, competition in the Korean telecommunications industry is intense and each of the service areas (wireless, fixed telephony and high-speed internet) is experiencing stagnant growth.

Licenses are required within the satellite business in order to use orbital space and spectrum from the government and provide services to clients. KT currently owns three satellites and transponders, all of which KT purchased from foreign operators.

PTT(Push To Talk) business operated by KT Powertel is progressing from the Trunked Radio System (“TRS”) service to the radiomessage service based on LTE. PTT service is expected to sustain its growth in the foreseeable future, mainly focusing on specific markets such as logistics and industrial sites. For leading this technology development, we strive to pioneer new PTT service with high quality and various functions.

Olleh Rwanda Networks constructs relevant network facilities in order to provide 4G LTE services in Rwanda.

Rwanda has an area 26,338 km²-a quarter of South Korean regions, with a population of 12million according to 2014 CIA research. The country has low fixed broadband penetration, with government and corporations as main user base. On the other hand, 3G mobile broadband penetration rate reached nearly 30%. As 3G mobile broadband subscribers base expected to expand further, KT and Rwanda government established Olleh Rwanda Network in order to create various ICT convergence value added services, based on 4G LTE networks and user expansions. The government of Rwanda gave ORN monopolistic rights regarding wholesale business. KT and Rwanda government constructs LTE networks through investments, and ORN sells traffic to MNOs and ISPs where those operators sell to end users as packaged items then.

• Credit Cards Business (BC Card)

In 1982, five domestic banks (Chohung, Commercial, First Korea, Hanil, Seoul Trusts) established the Banks’ Credit Card Association (the predecessor of BC Card) and launched their card operations. Today’s credit card business structure was formed when the Credit Card Industry Act was enacted in 1987. In 2009, the government expanded possible credit card payment accounts that were limited to commercial bank’s accounts into financial investment company cash management accounts (“CMA”), which were allowed to issue CMA-based credit cards. The credit card industry has expanded the scope of its business as a result of the government’s credit card proliferation policy, which was designed to help the government correctly charge taxable income. Recently, the industry is reinforcing its risk management in order to enhance profitability.

Table of Contents

• Satellite Broadcasting Service (KT Skylife)

Since broadcasting services have become increasingly integrated into the telecommunication business, its value in the media industry has been re-prioritized. New broadcasting technologies such as digital conversion and broadband broadcasting have developed due to the convergence of broadcasting and telecommunication and are available to satisfy customer needs.

• Real estate development, rental and management (KT Estate)

Real estate development usually requires large scale capital investments and takes long period of time for profits to be realized. Although real estate development returns are usually high, it is also affected by many risks. Efficient management of real estate assets is also an important business portfolio for KT Estate.

• Human Resource Management (HNC network)

In Korea, core businesses as manufactures and services have high portion of the outsourcing rate. Outsourcing is the majority of indirect employment and its ratio has been shown highly from big companies.

• Network Securities (Initech Corp)

The importance of network securities is increasing more and more nowadays. ICT Development can make us to be convenient. However, the risk of other side is also expanded. The only solution to solve these risks is construction of network securities

• Financing business (Smartro)

The VAN business involves linking credit card companies’ financing networks with large vendors and POS for credit card transactions. Although there are no regulatory barriers for financing the VAN business, certain network operation know-how is required.

• Equipment and Related Product Wholesale (KTM&S)

Previously, telecommunication equipment distributions were agency oriented. However, recent telecommunication equipment distributions are moving toward direct channels and on-line channels as smartphones and emerging devices are becoming increasingly popular. As distribution practices are being more focused on direct channels, we are planning to improve differentiation through CRM and service quality enhancement.

• Contents Distribution (KT Hitel)

The contents distribution business is growing due to increased demands for various N-Screen contents. Video contents are especially suitable for one-source-multi-use due to its ability of being recreated with more value added products. KT Hitel has the greatest number of rights for movie contents for the IP platform. KT Hitel also launched the T-Commerce business, which offers interactive shopping contents for TV viewers. We expect great growth potential from T-Commerce.

8

Table of Contents

• E-commerce (KT Commerce)

Companies increasingly prefer e-commerce business to business (“B2B”) provided that it allows for more efficient sales and purchasing procedures. A broker-managed e-commerce system commences once an order from the e-catalogue is placed and is followed by certain logistical procedures. B2B e-commerce offers purchasing companies greater efficiency, optimized processes and an integrated database system, while at the same time, offering selling companies with greater access to distributors of stable credit ratings.

• Music contents (KT Music)

The music industry refers to the overall cycle of value creation for music contents, starting with composition, performance, publishing, copyrights, management, record labels, and public relations activities. With the rapid expansion of smartphones, since late 2009, there have been an increasing number of subscribers consuming music contents via their smartphone devices.

• Submarine Cable Construction (KT Submarine)

KT Submarine provides cable construction and management services for telecommunication carriers. In addition to submarine cables for telecommunication carriers, KT Submarine also provides submarine construction for electricity providers. With increasing demands for electricity from China and Southeast Asian countries, the submarine power system is considered to be an ideal source of power to meet such demands.

• Security and Guards (KT Telecop)

The security service business has been growing due to reasons such as an increase in gross domestic product (“GDP”), women’s social advancement, and the aging population. The security business has a high entry barrier and is not very susceptible to the economic cycle. Security services are provided for individual clients as well as corporate and governmental organizations for the security of personnel, equipment or other assets.

• Advertising (Nasmedia)

There are two main types of agencies for small-to medium sized advertising agencies, which are media representatives and agencies focused on creative directing. The online advertising market is growing most rapidly in the advertising market and has the most access to opportunities.

• Software development and distribution (KT DS)

Korea’s IT servicing business has reached its peak. While new trends such as cloud services, big data, and open sources are receiving more attention from the market, the growth potential for these new services seems to be limited, as most of Korea’s corporations are trying to limit their budget for IT investments. As such, KT DS is looking to advance into the global market while tapping into IT-based convergence services.

Table of Contents

• Directory Assistance Business (KT CS, KTIS)

KT CS business area comprises of contact center, 114 businesses, and merchandising business. KTCS contact center offers call centers to various firms, responsible for client firm’s customer satisfaction and their brand images. KTCS also provides 114 phone number information services. Merchandising business regards with sales of KT’s wireline and wireless products.

KTIS also offers contact center services, sales of advertisement and telecommunication services. Korea domestic demands for contact center are growing considering client firms’ outsourcing needs for call centers. We expect higher demands in the future, considering corporate employment policies, growing needs for professional customer services, and increasing burdens of pricey IT systems and facilities investment. KTIS sells KT’s wireline and wireless products.

• MVNO (KT M mobile)

MVNO means Mobile Virtual Network Operator. MVNO operators have no their own cable and do their MVNO business by leasing existing cable from Telco. In Korea, Many corporates including affiliates of big company and small-middle sized companies started MVNO service.

• Satellite Leasing Service (KT Sat)

The market size of the global satellite leasing industry is Won 13 trillion, and has grown at a rate of 4% per year as of 2014 level. Companies such as Intelsat, SES, Eutelsat, and Telesat are the incumbent dominant players in the market and competition among these companies remains intense. The market for the global satellite leasing industry will expand into South East Asia, Middle Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

• Olleh Rwanda Networks LTD.

Current mobile operators passively respond to the needs for LTE products, as they are afraid of cannibalization with their 3G revenue. On the other hands, new entrants in Internet Service Providers face difficulty in 4G network sales due to lack of distribution channels available.

But under data explosion era, Rwanda voice would be replaced with data networks as many developed country experienced. And 3G networks capacity would not be able to hold increasing demands, increasing appeal for 4G networks, and ORN, a monopoly wholesale operator for LTE.

Table of Contents

• Credit card business (BC Card)

Until 2010, the credit card business grew explosively with the supportive policy of the Korean government. However, as overall levels of credit card users began to saturate and the decline of average credit card payments have escalated, the card business market is facing difficulties in securing sustainable growth.

• Satellite Broadcasting Service (KT Skylife)

In the future, broadcasting and telecommunication operators will provide not only voice data and data with IPTV and voice-over-internet-protocol (“VoIP”), but will also offer interactive satellite and mobile services that integrate wireless and wireline characteristics.

• Real estate development, rental and management (KT Estate)

As Korea’s birth rate continues to decline, less of the population will prefer to own properties. We expect to see an increase in demand for housing rental over purchasing small-sized households.

• Distribution contents (KT Hitel)

The mobile internet market is growing rapidly with the proliferation of smartphones compared to the stagnant growth in the wired internet industry. The robust growth of the IPTV platform will generate an explosive demand for contents such as movies, dramas, and animation. Meanwhile, T-commerce was launched as a new shopping platform.

• Security and Guards (KT Telecop)

The domestic security industry is affected by developments in electronics, computers, the internet, and the telecommunications and film industries and more value-added products are being introduced into the market. With an expectation that disposable income will continue to grow, the relevant security industry should continue to yield stable growth in the coming years.

• Advertising Business (Nasmedia)

’15 Domestic adverting industry is expected to have grown 4.0% YoY to KRW 11.2 trillion. Internet and outdoor adverting is anticipated to have grown marginally and mobile advertising around 18% YoY reaching KRW 1 trillion and IPTV advertising around 16% YoY.

Traditional advertising is being replaced by New Media. Internet usage time increase and digitalization of media is leading the increase of advertising commissions. Also recent trend of mobile media is changing the pattern of advertising industry.

• Directory Assistance Business (KT CS, KTIS)

Contact center service is expected to grow in the near future. Because of increasing cost burdens for client firms these days, various sectors increase their needs for outsourcing from professional. Client base not only include finance, telecommunications, but also manufacturing, construction and public utilities. 114 information area face downsizing trend as information technology develops and internet penetration rate increases.

• MVNO (KT M mobile)

As the number of MVNO subscriber has been grown consistently it becomes around 5.92M FY2015 which would be the 10% of the mobile one. The growth is expected to be bright along with the needs of lower price plan and the reasonable consumer trend.

(3) Characteristics of Market Fluctuations and Seasonality

• Telecommunication (KT, KT Sat, KT Powertel, Olleh Rwanda Networks LTD)

The demand for communications services does not fluctuate widely with economic conditions due to the fact that such services are regarded as a necessity in modern life. However, if the Korean economy slows and per capita income declines, it could have an adverse impact on KT’s business activities.

(A) KT Powertel

• KT Powertel is not affected directly by seasonality and fluctuations.

(B) KT Sat

• Transponder leasing - one of KT Sat’s major services – typically has a five-year (or longer) contract with its clients. As a result, KT Sat is not susceptible to seasonality and market fluctuations. Transmissions of video contents for government and data transmission are not affected by market fluctuations or seasonality. However, the marine service for shipping companies is sensitive to market conditions.

(C) Olleh Rwanda Networks, LTD

• Developing countries like Rwanda tries to reduce IT service differences amongst classes, so we expect less effect from seasonality and fluctuations.

• Credit Cards Business (BC card)

The credit card industry is a typical domestic business which is highly affected by the private consumption trend and overall economic conditions.

12

Table of Contents

• Satellite Broadcasting Service (KT Skylife)

The paid-TV market is perceived to be a necessity. Unless there is a severe economic downturn, the customer churn rate will be relatively stable. Moreover, the revenue from paid-TV services is based on monthly subscription fees, which are not impacted by seasonality.

• Real estate development, rental and management (KT Estate)

The real estate market is heavily dependent upon cyclical movements of the economy.

• Human Resource Management (HNC network)

After the economic crisis of 1997, many of our human labor services have been outsourced and have expanded to other labor centric operations such as call centers, hotel room cleaning services, and hospital cooking services.

• Network Securities (Initech Corp)

The information security market is affected by market conditions. For example, the economic downturn causes companies to cut down their budget for IT services and such services are less prioritized than other IT systems. However, as recent information leakage incidents are reported from across various industries (finance institutions, government organizations, and corporations) awareness as to the importance of information security has greatly increased.

• Finance Services (Smartro)

The VAN industry is directly correlated to the amount of credit card usage, and is therefore sensitive to consumption levels and market trends, and other factors related to consumption such as weather conditions, days in a month and types of affiliates (gas station, convenient store, or restaurants).

• Equipment and Related Product Wholesale (KTM&S)

Communications services are regarded as necessities, and are relatively less sensitive to market fluctuations and seasonality than other industries. However, distribution channels tend to react negatively to the introduction of new handsets, new technology, and trend changes.

• Contents Distribution (KT Hitel)

The contents market is less sensitive to seasonal factors than other businesses, with the dissemination of a variety of platforms and N-screen services. Typically the first and third quarters of a year are more profitable as a result of school breaks. However, after considering recent trends, the market appears to be more affected by content line-ups rather than factors related to seasonality. The T-commerce market is less sensitive to market trends and seasonality than other shopping methods due to the fact that the service is not limited to time, space, and payment methods.

13

Table of Contents

• E-commerce (KT commerce)

E-commerce is less sensitive to seasonality than normal commerce transactions as demand for E-commerce increases due to efficient purchases.

• Music contents (KT Music)

The music contents business has grown with the expansion of smartphones and is not influenced heavily by seasonality.

• Submarine Cable Construction (KT submarine)

The submarine cable construction business is influenced by the investment strategy between KT and the foreign communication infrastructure operators. KT Submarine’s business is linked with the infrastructure investment environment in China and other countries in the region.

• Security and Guards (KT Telecop)

The security business is less sensitive to economic fluctuations due to the conservative nature of the security business. However, domestic economic slowdowns and price competition may adversely affect the growth outlook.

As the importance of CCTV service has been realized recently, and the high-definition CCTV has become popular, the sustained growth is expected.

• Advertising Business (Nasmedia)

The advertising market is often viewed as the barometer of economic cycles and is highly affected by economic conditions. Revenue derived from advertising tends to show an N-pattern every year. Corporations usually reduce monthly advertisements from January to February and from July to August and increase spending for advertising from April to May and from September to year-end.

• Software development and distribution (KT DS)

B. Current Status of the Company

(1) Market Characteristics and Classification of Businesses

(a) Market Characteristics

• Telecommunication (KT, KT SAT, KT Powertel, Olleh Rwanda Networks Ltd.)

The Korean telecommunications market is currently experiencing stagnant growth as major services, including fixed-line telephony, broadband internet and mobile communications, have reached maturity, caused in part by intense competition in the industry. KT is also facing a difficult business environment with fixed-mobile substitution, emergence of internet telephone (VoIP), and price and subsidy competition. Despite the unfavorable economic environment, KT has made continuous efforts to promote cost-cutting measures and innovative customer values.

Considering the highly saturated mobile phone market in Korea (114.5% penetration rate with 57,940 thousands subscribers as of the end of 2015), growth potential by adding new subscribers or raising voice service pricing is limited. In such an environment, however, the mobile data business is considered to be a growth engine.

In late 2009, KT successfully switched the paradigm of the mobile competition from a voice centered market to data-centered services by introducing Apple’s iPhone to the Korean market and enhanced its competitiveness by introducing emerging devices including the iPhone 4 and iPads. KT’s initiatives led to a smartphone penetration rate. It recorded more than 50% first time among 3 operators as of February of 2012. Our LTE subscribers had a penetration rate of more than 10 million as of September 12, 2014 and LTE subscribers recorded 126.7 million as of the end of 2015. In order to promote data usage, KT increased the data volume provided for mobile subscribers by utilizing its 3W (WCDMA, WiFi, WiBro) networks.

Table of Contents

In the PSTN business, KT owns 80.5% of market share as of the end of 2015 with its high brand value and loyalty to customers. However, as KT’s competitors began introducing fixed-mobile bundle services with competitive pricing, KT’s PSTN revenue has been declining steadily. Nevertheless, KT has been trying to mitigate the decline in revenue through various pricing plans and by providing valuable customer services through the CRM system.

In the broadband internet arena, KT will aim to improve its customer value and marketing power by continually providing Fiber-To-The-Home (“FTTH”) services.

KT Sat was spun off from KT on December 1, 2012, and recorded an average growth rate of 8% for three years in a row. KT Sat provides transponder leasing, broadcasting, video distribution and data communications services through our satellites.

Although TRS services require at least two people to subscribe, KT Powertel’s TRS allows consumers to save in investment costs by offering a customized network through a public network. TSR is absorbing demands to substitute mobile communication services for certain companies and the growth forecast appear to be steady.

Olleh Rwanda Networks Ltd., which has an exclusive wholesale business license for the 4G data technology, gives the existing mobile carriers and ISPs a same opportunity to build a 4G retail business. Olleh Rwanda Networks Ltd. try to expand the internet service (retail) with Rwanda government’s ICT supporting policy and the data market growth trend.

In order to secure continuous growth potential, KT has been actively expanding its business into new businesses with growth prospects. KT aims to offer ubiquitous services for subscribers while offering telecommunication based business solutions to corporate clients.

Since the introduction of VoIP in early 2008, KT has been expanding its VoIP subscriber base, recording 3.4 million VoIP subscribers as of September 2013. Unlike other operators which have positioned VoIP as a substitute for PSTN, KT has marketed its VoIP as both a substitute and complementary service for PSTN. On the back end of these efforts, KT has maintained a relatively stable PSTN subscriber base.

KT has also introduced ‘Home hub phone’ and ‘smart home pad,’ which are integrated terminals combining PSTN, VoIP and access point (“AP”), allowing subscribers to enjoy services such as mobile IPTV and Life Jockey services using their home devices. KT plans to solidify its customer base through such creation of new convergent terminals with value-added services and applications. In January 2013, in order to transform conventional PSTN and VoIP oriented telephony customers into storage-over-internet-protocol (“SoIP”) subscribers, KT launched smart-home phone HD, which converged the smart-home contents service and HD voice/data communication function of WiFi-only smartphones.

As for our corporate business, we plan to expand our presence to the overseas markets with our IT solution products such as Mobile Office and Cloud Computing. After launching in 2010, KT is leading the Cloud Service market with Multi-Data Center and abundant Cloud conversion know-how.
